W Los Angeles: Switzerland-Style Après

December 18, 2013 By VoyageVixens Leave a Comment

Los Angeles doesn’t have snow, much less skiing. But we’re pretending it does. Three cheers for Après (post-ski party). Recently, we got to check out W Los Angeles Hotel’s swank Après menu … wait for it… poolside. Why? Because it’s L.A. and we can have a wintery fete ’round or IN the pool, for that matter.

In honor of the W Verbier, the first W Alpine Hotel in Switzerland that opened this month, W Los Angeles is getting in the snow-bunny mood with chalet-centric decor, holiday cocktails and both a sweet and savory fondue menu.

Where else in L.A. can you dip a roasted marshmallow squished between two Oreo cookies in hot peanut butter sauce while sipping on a champagne cocktail from the Veuve Clicquot airstream? Deliriously decadent, and we loved every ooey-gooey moment of it.

For an excellent girls’ night-out , preferably on a non-weekend night, reserve a Après cabana ($100) at the W Los Angeles to kick back making s’mores or dipping veggies in molten fondue cheese while imbibing the Hot Apple Pie (apple cider and Tuaca with cinnamon sugar), Candy Land Martini (Peppermint Schnapps, vodka, crème de cocoa, and a crushed peppermint chocolate rim) or the Pumpkin Pie Martini (whiskey, butter shots liquor, pumpkin liquor). Snd don’t miss the holiday photo booth or the foosball on the oh-so-chic Veuve Cliquot table.

Not drooling yet? Just wait. You will after you check out the W Los Angeles Après fondue menu:

Savory Fondue for Two

Miss Swiss – gruyere cheese, sherry, and garlic
Dive Bar – cheddar, IPA beer, and bacon
Dipping Veggies/Pretzels

Sweet Fondue for Two

Sweet Hot – dark chocolate, pink peppercorns, and Himalayan salt
Snowflake – white chocolate, toasted coconut, and marshmallow fluff
S’mores Kit – dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, graham crackers, and housemade marshmallows

Have too much going on with the holidays to enjoy the pretend-like-we-have-skiing festivities? No worries. The Apres menu and all the accoutrements run until January 5th.

WHO ARE THE VIXENS?

Lanee Lee and Lindsay Taub of Voyage Vixens

Hi! We're Lanee and Lindsay. You may have gotten to this page because you're intrigued by the word "vixens" or maybe you found some of our porn online (#travelporn, that is!). Either way, we are fully aware we are not what you typically think of when you hear the word "vixen", i.e. boobalicious babe wearing skintight minidresses in 6-inch heels. In our book, you don't need DDs to be a VV. To us -- vixens are smart and sassy women (and men, why not?!) who take action, scared sh**less or not, to turn their dreams into realities. Now you know a little about us; we'd like to get to know you. Connect with us on twitter, instagram, google+, pinterest, youtube, Facebook, tumblr, and periscope! (yes, we're on them all...#sorrynotsorry)

Got a Story to Tell?

We want to hear it! We're now accepting guest blog posts. Send us your travel tale—be it hilarious, heartwarming or horrifying— to [email protected] Promise, you'll hear from us in less than 48 hours.
